Melissa & Adrian Engagement Session Sayen Gardens Hamilton NJ

Engagement Session Sayen Gardens Hamilton NJ

Melissa and Adrian’s Engagement Session Sayen Gardens Hamilton NJ was so much fun and I am so glad that they chose such a great location. I have known about the Sayen Gardens for a while now and I finally got a chance to shoot at that location. The Sayen Gardens is a very popular location for photographers alike and for a Saturday afternoon is was quite crowded. For someone who hasn’t been there before or wants a cool quiet location to shoot their engagement session. I would highly recommend Sayen Gardens.

Melissa and Adrian’s engagement session Sayen Gardens was a huge success and I definitely got Adrian to feel a lot more comfortable in front of my camera! When I told him about the Cookie Monster voice and to tell Melissa the ingredients of her favorite dessert, he was laughing too much, so naturally, I had to help him out. This seems to be the running thing when they can’t figure out the Cookie Monster voice or they are too embarrassed to do it! Engagement Session Sayen Gardens

The amount of locations that Sayen Gardens has for photographers to use to photograph at is amazing. No matter what research you do before the session, seeing the place in person allows the creative juices to start flowing and I am really able to work my magic. Now, let’s dive into how these two love birds met! Engagement Session Sayen Gardens

THEIR LOVE STORY!

Adrian and Melissa met on Match.com back in 2016. They went on their first date to Howell Lanes. Having bowling be a big part of my life as well as my family’s, Howell Lanes is a great location for any date night. They decided that they would start with a drink at the bar to see how things were going to go and then if they felt up to it, they would bowl a few games. Engagement Session Sayen Gardens

“The date went well and we ended up playing 3 games! (He even let me win). I think dates to the bowling center are always fun. However, since I am always in a bowling center, I rarely go on dates to a bowling center. Engagement Session Sayen Gardens

It was meant to be that Adrian and Melissa were to get married and be together forever. When I asked Melissa she told me “I mean look at him! LOL, how could I not ?! Haha. I don’t really know the exact words, but it just felt like we both knew we were meant to be together if that makes sense.”

Adrian planned this entire proposal to be at Rockefeller Center in New York City next to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, but due to some unfortunate family circumstances, the proposal fell through. ” It ended up being at home in the dining room. He walked into our apartment threw his stuff down and came towards me got on 1 knee and held out the ring box. Will you marry me & of course 100 times YES!! Not exactly what he had planned but things don’t always go according to plan, it was perfect any way it happened.”

Adrian and Melissa got engaged in December of 2019. They reached out to me not too far after they got engaged and I am honored to capture their love from behind my lens. They don’t have a wedding date or venue set yet but they plan on getting married sometime in 2021.
